Ruben Q L updated CALCITE-7722:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
RexSimplify.simplifyIsNotNull / simplifyIsNull currently bail out of the whole 
simplification when the input RexCall is not fully safe (i.e. 
isSafeExpression(a) == false). This is stricter than necessary for operators 
with Strong.Policy.ANY, where IS [NOT] NULL(f(a, b, ...)) is semantically 
equivalent to IS [NOT] NULL(a) OR/AND IS [NOT] NULL(b) OR/AND ... — the 
operator itself does not need to be evaluated to compute the result.

Example (regression for downstream projects such as Hive):

{code}
Before (≤ 1.34):
IS NOT NULL(CAST(key AS DOUBLE) + 1.0) → IS NOT NULL(CAST(key AS DOUBLE))

After (≥ 1.35):
IS NOT NULL(CAST(key AS DOUBLE) + 1.0) → (unchanged)
{code}

The rewrite is dropped because CAST(key AS DOUBLE) + 1.0 is a non-lossless cast 
wrapped in a +, so isSafeExpression returns false, even though + is Strong.ANY 
and the distribution is a valid rewrite regardless of the outer call's safety.

  was:
Example: consider the expression {{{}(CAST(col AS INT)*2) IS NULL{}}}. If the 
operation uses integer overflows, then it does not affect the nullability. So 
the expression can be simplified to {{{}CAST(col as INT) IS NULL{}}}.

If the operation just returns NULL or throws an exception, then this 
simplification would change the semantics. Calcite's built-in multiplication 
[uses integer 
overflows|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/437398834e49c8086a64870427214fec428684fc/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/adapter/enumerable/RexImpTable.java#L844],
 so it should carry out that simplification.

However, currently the following RexProgramTest assertion fails:
{code:java}
checkSimplify(isNull(mul(vInt(), literal(2))), "IS NULL(?0.int0)"); {code}
If the sub-expression may throw an exception, then the multiplication can still 
be removed:
{code:java}
checkSimplify(isNull(mul(cast(vVarchar(), tInt(false)), literal(2))),
        "IS NULL(CAST(?0.varchar0):INTEGER NOT NULL)"); {code}


> RexSimplify IS [NOT] NULL over a Strong.ANY call is no longer simplified when 
> the call itself is unsafe
